Casey Allan, Community Member, "Britney will provide the change the board of director desperately needs."

Genevieve Canceko Chan, OSD Parent of an 8th grader and 4th grader, "Britney will bring a compassionate and pragmatic approach to issues facing our community. She will be vigilant in gathering facts and understanding process, while considering the impact of choices on students, families, teachers, and staff."

Hannah Middlebrook, Community Member, "For too long in Olympia School District, I’ve felt like we’ve been handed false choices and told everything is a crisis. I’ve watched fear and doom used to keep control, while families and staff were left feeling ignored. I believe Britney Johnson is here to change that. I’ve seen how much she cares about this community and how committed she is to doing things differently. She believes our schools belong to everyone, not just a few people in charge. She knows what it feels like to be dismissed by this district, and she’s not afraid to stand up and ask hard questions. I admire that Britney chose Olympia after looking at communities all over the country. She believes in what our district has been, and what our district can be at its best. I trust that she’ll bring people together, lead with transparency, and help rebuild trust. I know she’ll be a leader for all students, making sure every kid feels supported and has a real chance to succeed. Britney brings hope instead of fear and collaboration instead of control. She has the courage to challenge the old ways and the heart to do it with respect. I’m supporting Britney Johnson because I believe she’s exactly the change our schools need. She’s ready to lead with honesty, vision, and a genuine commitment to this district."

Heidi Redden, OSD Parent, "I met Britney through our kids’ school McKenny elementary. We worked to revitalize our neglected garden. She was a pleasure to work with. I know she is an honest person who is not involved in local politics. She supports all kids of all backgrounds. She believes in efficiency and values people’s time. Cute story she told me about potty training her kids to reward them: she lifted the lid off the toilet so they could see how it functions as they flushed it."

Joellen Wilhelm, Former OSD School Board Director, "Britney brings a student-centered approach to leadership. She understands that school needs to meet our kids where they are and give them the academic and social skills to dive into their passions.  Her ability to listen and lay out a vision are talents she brings from her own career. And as a parent to students in her neighborhood elementary school, she understands that choice matters to students and families.  She is a good listener and will bring the community’s values to the table to guide decision-making. Most importantly, she understands that public education is a public good and will work for all of our students."

Kelcy Shaffer, Community Member "I endorse Britney Johnson because she is about making sure every student, family member, and teacher in District 3 gets heard loud and clear! I believe she will bring practical solutions, fair budget practices, and real community voices to Olympia’s school board. She looks towards a future of opportunity not crisis and I am proud to endorse her!"

Mike Longmire, Community Member.

Mike Reid. Community Member, "My wife and I saw you provide comments at the McKenny open house last year and were energized by your conviction. My wife and I are long time Olympia locals."

Miriam Hathaway. Community Member, "Britney reflects our community’s vision!"

Sheila Beadling. Roosevelt PTA, Vice President 2023 - 2025.

Whitney Bowerman. Community Member, "I met Britney a year and a half ago when she fostered cats for my program, Oly Camp Kitties, later adopting two cats for her family. As I’ve watched her navigate this School Board campaign I’ve been impressed by her energy, positivity, and out of the box thinking. The current board is extremely dysfunctional and our community needs fresh, new voices that can listen and bring us back together. I have full faith that a Cat Lady in Pink can do that."
